ANNULOSA JAVANICA. 15 
Palpi breves crassi articulo ultimo ovato apice subtruncato. 
Labium obconicum convexum setis terminalibus instructum. Paragloss@ labio duplo lon- 
giores magne rotundate. 
Mentum dente medio vix conspicuo. 
Caput haud thorace latius. Thorax convexiusculus truncatus obcordatus anticé latior late- 
ribus sinuatis. H/ytra margine postico unidentato convexiuscula lateribus parallelis. 
Oss. Mr. Kirby has published so excellent a description of this genus in the 14th vol. of the 
Linnean Transactions, that the above generic character may appear superfluous ; and, indeed, it is 
only here given for the purpose of comparing the species more readily with the following genus 
Pericalus, to which they approach very near in affinity. Both genera have their elytra praemorso- 
truncate at the posterior margin.

Caput pone oculos nigros punctatum collo levi. Thorax linea antica transversa curva aliaque media 
longitudinali fossulaque utrinque postica impressus. Scutellum nigrum. Elytra marginata lateribus 
aureis stria scutellari brevissima. Corpus subtus atronitidum. 
Oss. Fabricius takes no notice of the emargination at the apex of the elytra, which is a 
character of the genus. The Carabus elegans of Olivier belongs to quite another genus. 
23. QuaprimacuLatus. C. viridiaureus labro palpis antennisque piceis, pedibus rufis, elytris striatis ; macults 
duabus flavis.

Ors. This last species differs in several important respects from Catascopus elegans, which 
comes nearer to the species described by Mr. Kirby, and named by him C. Hardwickii. The 
Carabus splendidulus of Fabricius, also belongs to the genus which thus contains four described 
species. 
Subgenus PERICALUS Nobis.

obcordatus profundé canaliculatus, antice emarginatus angulis subporrectis acutis, antice 
latior lateribus sinuatis subreflexis. Hlytra marginata postice unidentata. -dbdomen
